I'm trying to read a string from an http webserver which gives the
time.
I'm supposed to be able to just read a string from this input after I
make the connection. Here's what I do:
String url = new(http:xxx.xx.xxx);
URL webtime = new URL(url);
connection = webtime.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
DataInputStream timestream = new
DataInputStream(webtime.openStream());
String UTCline = timestream.readLine();
System.out.println(UTCline);
The first 5 characters of this string are supposed to be a
Julian date then a space followed by yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss, ect.
However the string starts with the yy-mm-dd. The Julian date is lost.
I know that its there because It shows up when I just put the URL
address in a browser. What am I doing wrong? Or is it them?
Thanks for the help.
